Meatball Sliders Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
For the Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional
- 2 teaspoons oregano flakes
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
For the Sliders
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and cut into thirds
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 12 dinner rolls, or slider buns
- 12 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prep. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425º F.
- Make the Meatballs. Add all of the ingredients for the meatballs to a large mixing bowl. With clean hands, combine all of the ingredients until just well combined. Do not overmix. Use a medium cookie scoop (2-tablespoon) or a spoon and scoop the meatball mixture. Roll in your hands to form the meatballs. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Once all of the meatballs have been formed, bake until an instant-read thermometer reaches 160º F, about 10 – 12 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Make the sliders. Add a slice of bacon to the bottom half of a dinner roll or slider bun. Place a meatball on top and spoon a tablespoon of tomato sauce over each meatball. Top with a slice of provolone cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese has melted and the tomato sauce is warmed, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

must be meatball day– this is the third amazing meatball recipe i’ve read this morning 🙂
These are my go-to-I-am-out-of-ideas dinner. Everyone loves them and so easy. I have some in my fridge from Saturday night. And the provolone cheese-yum! FYI pepperidge farm makes a slider roll in white and whole wheat but I think dinner rolls are better because the slider rolls tend to be a little too big.
THese look fantastic!
Oh my! What a mouth-watering creation!? Perfect for game days….or any day! 🙂
